Book Series: SCRUM

This week's entry goes to the rather controversial title "The art of doing twice the work in half the time". Check out My Book Series.

How I Found it

Although having been a Scrum Master for years, it took me a little while to get this book into my hands. Written by Jeff Sutherland whose one of the co-creators of the Scrum framework.

I got it as a birthday present to myself, in fact a nice bundle I should probably admit!: https://twitter.com/Inescapinezka/status/1171326320678178817?s=20

What it Tells me

We so need to move away from dictating what and how things are to be done. We are missing out. We need to move away from a top-down approach. Command and control is archaic and it just doesn’t work, plus it is slow and we should question whether it ever really enable any deep change? We must move away from blame and hierarchy and instead foster an ongoing process of trial-and-error whereby learning and self-correction is part of the operating system. An evolution, not a revolution.

This book is packed with stories, the context of the scrum beginning and so many details and wide variety of examples on how and where this have been applied. Join the movement and learn how you can create a team that aims for a higher goal, organise themselves, and constantly feeds off each member's skills.

Food for Thought

We must care about the system that we create around us, so that it can coordinate the independent collective genius with constant loops of feedback about their environment so that it can inform next loop.
